Ashcroft and Evans resign from Bush Cabinet

by repost
WASHINGTON - Attorney General John Ashcroft and Commerce Secretary Don Evans resigned Tuesday, the first members of President Bush's Cabinet to leave as he headed from re-election into his second term.

The resignations were announced by White House press secretary Scott McClellan, who said Bush had accepted the decisions of both secretaries.

His departure can't come fast enough. His legacy, after all, will be the Patriot Act. Three years later, it's clearer than ever that this ill-conceived and hastily approved package of anti-terrorism laws made the country no safer. In exchange for an erosion of their civil liberties, Americans got, well, nothing to speak of.

US Attorney General John Ashcroft has resigned from the Bush cabinet, the White House says.

Secretary for Commerce, Don Evans, has also quit his post, officials said.

They are the first departures from President George Bush's cabinet since he was re-elected for another four-year term last Tuesday.

"The president accepted their resignations," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said as he announced the resignations.
